01-11-2026I agree with Tartan! Just yesterday I saw a beautifully made pieced floral quilt with machine stipple meandering throughout the entire quilt, just BEAUTIFUL! And I am still kicking myself for not buying it for $6.99!!!!! at the Goodwill while shopping for fabric. I could not believe someone would have parted with such a lovely, very time consuming perfectly put together quilt.

Yes it took me a lot of time and money to make it, but I loved you enough to give it to you.... love me back by using it however you want to. If, in time, it wears out and I am able to, I will make you another one as you tell me all the times you used the quilt and how it never sat lonely in a closet. It is your quilt now... not mine.
My sentiments also.

Making a game quilt for a child and finding out ( mom) had packed it away because it was too wonderful to have kids playing on.
im ok when a quilt is used to cover furniture during a move, used to build forts, take camping, take to the beach, have picnics- anything is ok except packing them away.

Bleach!!! I made a quilt for my grandson with the prettiest blue. His other grandma washed it with bleach and totally changed the color. My DD was not happy
